Being so quiet, why aren't you saying anything?

Hey, we're recording the podcast.

Shut up.

Good morning to you, wherever you are, because it is morning September.

For December 31st, 2025.

My name is Bernie Burns. I nailed the timing on the last 2025. I got it right finally up for all this time. Sitting over there in awe, Ashley Burns, say hi to Ashley, everybody. I'm super impressed. You've had a year of practice and you got there. You nailed it. There was a lot of pressure to get the last one right, Ashley. Do you feel that?
